I've been developing a comic book character for quite some time now, and I created him as a robot built around a human skeleton. This was mainly due to the fact that when I was imagining him, I had a vision of a skull on top of a robot body, and thought it looked cool. Really cool. I then thought of the idea of the skeleton being there to fuel the DNA computers that run the machine, and it was only after I wrote it all down did I realize I was ripping off Kiryu from Godzilla (Which I don't is that exclusive to Godzilla, is it?)
I understand that Kiryu used the DNA computers because they were more effiecent than what they had at the time, and that the real reason was just to have Mechagodzilla run amuck and have a sentience, but is there a bit more to to it? How much of it is pseudoscience? How would it best be explained that my character would have to have these kind of computers?
The current description of the character is as follows: "He runs off of DNA computers which can perform many tasks at once, giving him the ability to think and process like no other machine can. I needed massive amounts of DNA for him to work, and despite the fact taht everything in him is connected by a neural network, every module of his body needed a full genome to operate at full capacity." (I'm not gonna get into the details of how he obtains this skeleton.
)This story is supposed to be fifty years in the future, and is about the more "hard science" of older comics that I think has been lacking lately, and as such I want to make it as plausible as I can. It doesn't have to be like I'm really plotting a schematic, but I don't want to sound as if I'm talking out of my ass on this. Any help is appreciated!
